No sleep for the poor.
Only sleep for the rich.
*
As people walk,
as people ignore,
as people stand oblivious,
a man is arrested
for sitting..
on a sidewalk!
As we sit on our chairs
having a structure to sit on.
We don’t think of the man
who has nowhere to sit.
*
Human right?
What is that?
No such thing as that
in the City by the Bay.
— Maria Johnson
